SAFARI - MATCH ME IF YOU CAN

Munich, the city of singles and unfulfilled desire. Whoever feels like having a one-night stand can just use Safari, a new dating app. But is it also possible to find love via the app? Harry at least meets Lara through Safari, even though he's married to Aurelie. As a therapist, Aurelie wants in turn for one of her patients to finally lose his virginity. Fifty-year-old Mona agrees to help him out and then meets a single father through Safari. And so on. Rudi Gaul transposes Arthur Schnitzler's play "La Ronde" into the digital dating world of today.
